Glory 39 To Feature Cédric Doumbé Defending Against Yoann Kongolo

Nearly five years after GLORY made its sole appearance in the Capital of Europe, the world’s premier kickboxing league returns for GLORY 39 Brussels and GLORY 39 SuperFight Series on Saturday, March 25. Forest National once again plays host to the top strikers on the planet, including many of Western Europe’s best, as they put it all on the line for the Belgian crowd.

Newly crowned GLORY welterweight champion Cédric “The Best” Doumbé (65-4-1, 39 KO) of France headlines GLORY 39 Brussels, defending his belt for the first time against Swiss striker and No. 2 ranked welterweight Yoann Kongolo (64-8, 46 KO). The challenger Kongolo holds two victories over the champion Doumbé, earning a unanimous decision in each previous encounter – including their meeting at GLORY 22 SuperFight Series in 2015, the GLORY debut for both fighters.

Egyptian slugger Hesdy “Fighterheart” Gerges (49-18-1, 23 KO) puts his top four position on the line against the United Kingdom’s “Chopper” Chi Lewis-Parry (8-1, 4 KO), standing 6’9″ and occupying the eighth spot in the heavyweight division.
